RE: Gopher Illustrated reports that North Dakota will be invited to the Big Ten Hockey

Always thought that UND was against the Summit because being associated with Denver and Omaha in it would allow schools like NDSU or even IPFW and IUPUI to force hockey members to adjoin that sport into the conference and start it themselves. That wouldn't be possible now.

Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins don't get any money from the Big Ten Network from what I understand. They do get to broadcast their home Big Ten games on the network of their choosing and keep the money. In Notre Dames case, it's the NBC Sports Network.

There had been rumors about UND doing a big deal with Fox Sports North. Maybe this is the answer.

That's really interesting. I didn't realize you get to keep the rights to the home games for yourself. Lots of different directions to go with content like that. Will be interesting to see the $ amount they get for it.

Well nothing is final. Without UND, the conference tournament becomes almost bare. The link earlier outlines a reconfigured WCHA and CCHA if UND is gone. Hockey fans like to travel to opposing barns, and that's not possible cheaply with the current alignment.

Minn St-Mankato applied earlier, but was turned down as was Ariz St, which still doesn't have a decent arena.

ASU would be a mistake. Take those recruits used to cuddling with chubby ugly pale girls to stay warm all winter and show them a tanned up sexycoed at ASU and they won't be able to sign up for the scholarship fast enough. Seriously, unless you are going to the NHL choosing 4 years at Minnesota or Arizona is a no brainer. ASU would steal recruits.

Most of the recruits get NHL scouting before they even sign. The top.draft.pick recently was from.Arizona, who played his late teens in the Midwest to get better development. Ariz St is getting recruits, but it's too young a program to win. California has developed into a recruiting hotbed for hockey.

lol. You are contradicting yourself here when you say the babes are a deciding factor for looking at a school when on another thread you say born a husker always a husker.

What if you were raised diehard UND hockey? Would you consider Arizona State for the sexy girls as you mentioned? Obviously its not as simple as waive the P5 card and recruiting is automatic.

Comparing NEbraska football fans to ASU hockey recruits is not much of a comparison. Nice try thought. LOL. Try to hide it better next time.

I think a kid who grew up in Minnesota or North Dakota would be happy to live 4 years in Arizona playing hockey and going to school. IF you feel differently you're entitled to your opinion.

You probably didn't' get much in college as you dont' seem to understand the difference in Minnesota women and ASU women. ASU women are hard to beat and Minnesota weather sucks donkey. If you are not NHL bound I thin "ASU could steal recruits from schools in cold locations with ugly women.
